[avahi] Help wanted: review and prioritize pull requests

[Petr Menšík]

Hello dear contributors,

because I have obtained commit rights to the avahi repository, I were 
able to mark pull requests with various labels. I have spent couple 
hours yesterday looking through the backlog. I think we should focus 
first on bugs. I have marked some with important label [1], which I 
think should receive higher priority. I have merged just translations. I 
found multiple pull requests fixing just typo in comments or data files 
and marked them with documentation label. They should be safe to merge 
too, but I have left them just marked for now.

I would like to all others new maintainers to try to find time and 
review those pull request. If you take a look at them, please use 'Files 
changed' tab of a pull request and make a review. If you think that is 
safe to merge, please approve that explicitly by using Review changes 
button. I have found many changes just simple and safe fixes. But would 
like other's opinion if possible. I have not approved my own pull 
requests, I would like someone else to do that. Ideally every change 
should be agreed on at least by two people. Let's test whether that can 
work.

Some are more complex and I admit I lack detailed knowledge of mdns 
protocol. Because there are no visible unit tests or regression testing, 
I think a caution is required. I admit I use just quite a limited 
features of mdns, mostly just addresses translations. It might be a good 
idea to put together at least Markdown document with hints for testing. 
I have noticed some test programs in avahi-core folder, but not any 
description for its user. Slow way towards units test and make test 
target would be great. But first things first.

If you disagree with my label assignments, please add comment(s) to the 
appropriate PR. Thanks!

Regards,
Petr
